LONDON, U.K. — CAROCAP cyclists, sponsored by Bimuno, successfully ride the length of Africa in just 38 days. Clasado, the producers and suppliers of the second generation prebiotic Bimuno, is excited to announce the CAROCAP Team Time Trial Cycling event was successfully completed on Sunday.

The CAROCAP team has achieved the fastest ever human powered journey along the length of the African Continent. Starting in Cairo on Oct. 9 and finishing in Cape Town on Nov. 15, the team successfully completed the distance of over 10,300 km (6,400 miles) in just 38 days — beating the previous record by four days.

The ride has been both mentally and physically exhausting, resulting in the departure of one of the most experienced riders. Kenyan national captain, and one time coach to Chris Froome, David Kinjah, left the team just ten days shy of the finish line.  The team crossing the finish line was comprised of Nicholas Bourne (who has previously run the same route), Mark Blewett (former South African professional cyclist), and David Martin (national road and time trial champion of Zimbabwe).

Emotions were high in Cape Town on Sunday afternoon. Mark Blewett’s son joined the team for their last 15kms, making for a touching finale. It is not often that sporting attempts require such a physical and emotionally demanding endeavor; the team therefore had chosen to partner with Bimuno for the provision of advanced nutritional support.
